Business Visa Advisory.
A Business (B) visa, or an e-Business visa for eligible nationalities, lets foreign nationals visit India for meetings, sales, setting up a venture, board meetings, recruitment or short technical visits, but not for employment. We advise visitors and their Indian hosts on the right visa category, the invitation and supporting letters, and the stay and registration conditions that apply.
Typically 2–3 working days for our advice and letters. An e-Business visa should be applied for at least 4 days before arrival, while regular visas depend on the Mission's processing time.

Travel compliance
We remind visitors to submit the e-Arrival card within 72 hours before arrival and to track the 180-day continuous stay limit.

If a visitor needs to stay beyond 180 days, we handle FRRO registration within the time the rules allow.
